possible geek zone? is there a particular program which can be used to shorten an MP3 and then save it so it can be used as a phone ringtone.

Does your phone not support full MP3 tones then? Mine will simply play for as long as the person is ringing/the network will allow them to ring.

There is software out there, but I don't know of any decent free ones etc.

Yeah, with the right software.

Windows MovieMaker will do it, but saves it as .WMA

Try Audacity. Play the file and record it (records whatever you would hear, no need for a microphone) and then you can cut and crop files as you like. Also good for recording songs off youtube music vids etc

i have a program called mp3 splitter (genius name, huh?)
it's a free one available from download.com and will split the file by time, by file size, or something else that i don't remember
quite a handy tool
